I loved the first book, and this one was no different. As with Book One, McManus gives just enough information through the different POVs for the reader to figure out the culprit themselves- and she does so in a way that only makes the big reveal more exciting rather than predictable. There's always an extra twist or another detail that comes to light in the climax and resolution, too. The way the plot moved from a simple game of Truth or Dare to an actually serious and tense situation was really good. I liked the characters in this one as well (though I did take points off because I'm not a fan of romance, that's just personal preference) and how they each developed, especially Maeve. I'm still trying to figure out who's on the cover, though...
